"a new bug has made its appearance in
Chicago within the last two years. We
call it the sewer bug, because it breeds in
the sewers and through them gets into the
houses. They are hard to kill, and destroy
carpets, leather, and clothing They are
species of beetle, but have no wings.
This summer another new bug has made
its appearance in The East. 1t has not
reached Chicago yet The name Of "buf-
falo bug" has been applied to it, because
it was discovered in Buffalo, N. Y, and
literally abounds there. It's working its

A riddle asks the whole night long;

But leaves US doubtful of her fate;
And makes us wonder tchat she did.
Alas the mystery is hid
Within an insects mighty brain,

A sphinx-like riddle-that Is plain.

The little sphinxes corpses cling.

rush violently into deep depression in
the steep cliff that rises on the Canada
side. then they emerge, turning back al
most at right angle to the American

of the bed of an ancient channel. Here

COLUMBUS, Miss, Dec. 30, 1856.
EDITOR CLARION: There is one de-
partment in the Industrial training of
the /. !. and c., which needs to be seen
in operation, to be fully appreciated.
This is modelling, free hand drawing and
designing, as taught by Miss sallie Nc
Laurin and Miss Hutchinson. The pu-
pills began last session with straight
lines. At the end of a session and a
half we find them so far advanced that
the progress seems to have been wrought
by magic, instead of persistent persever-
ance under best teaching. However,
there is magic in both.
visited the rooms of Misses McLau
rim and Hutchinson few days ago, and
although | expected great things, / was
not prepared TO see what was shown me.
The original designs in oil-elOth patterns,
carpets and wall papering were heauti
ful. The exhibit in conventional work
was extensive and splendidly executed
The pupils had woven the flowers OF
their choice into conventional designs
On the same papers were to be seen the
flowers, leaves, stems, seed, ali done In
natural colors. These showed the most
artistic conception and the most grace
full and careful finish. Each piece
shown me would serve as lovely pat
tern for any suitable cloth or lace, or
would have been beautiful in any style
of decoration. | doubt if anywhere in
the South such admirable work can be
seen of this character. / saw also a fine
collection of free-hand drawings and
paintings. There were clusters of au-
tamn leaves, whose coloring was espe-
eially admirable. One piece represent
ing a bamboo vine attracted special
praise. Another piece representing
clusters of pepper with the green and
red pods, the leaves and tiny white bios
SONS, was exceedingly natural. There
we're to be seen in this line nearly every
flower familiar TO Southern gardens and
many other things, all finely copied from
nature.
A very interesting display was the
clay showed where the apt fingers of the
girls had been mixing aud working the
clay into proper shape for modelling
There were arranged on shelves many
finished specimens of the girls work
In the vegetable line were to be seen
cabbages, turnips, beats, sweet potatoes
and every other sort you can imagine;
here were also all the fruits. Besides
this there were leaves, flowers, branches
If oak, sprays of ivy, etc. These clay
specimens were completed during the
lessons of the last few weeks. If the
state could see them the |. |. and G.
would have enthusiastic praise, and it
would be even more firmly set in the
esteem Of the people.
The close of this session will show
great progress in the arts of modelling
and designing. The patrons of the Col
lege who have daughters studying these
industries have cause for congratula
ion that the teachers, Misses McLaurin
and Hutchinson, are so pre-eminent in
their professions.
